Silk. The only undoubted notice of silk in the Bible occurs in Revelation 18:12, where it is mentioned among the treasures of the typical Babylon. It is however, in the highest degree, probable that the texture was known to the Hebrews from the time that their commercial relations were extended by Solomon. The well-known classical name of the substance does not occur in the Hebrew language.
